I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.

Maria has been amazing checking in on my pup Nemo! He’s a growing Dane and she has been very communicative about how the visits go which I really enjoy. She’s been available last minute often and is quick to respond whether or not she’s available. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any of your pet needs. 😊

Amy did such a good job with my cats. They looked well taken care of and always answered when I asked questions or needed reassurance that they were happy. Thanks again for doing such a great job!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve had a very well rounded experience growing up with animals since my early childhood. Additionally I worked at Petsmart seven years, and three years in the petshotel boarding facility with both cats and dogs. This was a 24 hour care facility, which I learned the unique personalities of animals and interacted with a wide variety of breeds. I also cared for the cats, including play times, feedings and administering medication. I understand the importance of caring for each pet and ensuring they are comfortable. I feel I am extremely responsible and attentive, and will communicate with you while you’re away so you can have piece of mind knowing your pet is taken care of. I am open to taking walks/runs depending on the amount of exercise your dog needs. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

About: I am an experienced veterinary assistant currently studying to become a veterinarian, with hands on experience caring for animals in both medical and everyday settings. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities, monitoring their health and behavior, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. My background has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to provide reliable, compassionate care for pets during walks, boarding stays, and daily routines. I currently work part time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for dog walking and boarding services throughout the week. I am available on most weekdays, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of schedules for pet owners. I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets by following their normal routines, ensuring they get exercise, feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment both during walks and boarding stays.

Kirstin did a great job with my pups. One of mine is very skittish and takes a little extra attention and Kirstin was able to connect with her and make things less stressful for her. All 3 of mine are senior dogs with distinct personalities and she tailored her interactions with each to give them what they need. And the pictures were great! I will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve had pets around for as long as I can remember. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I even have training experience with puppies. I have also taken care of special needs dogs before, including an epileptic dog, so I have lots of experience with animals that have special needs . I also worked at a wildlife rehab this past summer so I have experience with proper administration of eye meds, oral meds, and SQ injections in mammals. My family fosters dogs so I am familiar with all sorts of dogs. I’m currently a college student home for break. I’m majoring in fisheries and wildlife at UNL and plan to work in an animal related field in the future. I will have lots of time to care for all of your pets. I do have my own kitty at home, so I just need to make sure I have enough time to take care of him twice daily. I will mostly be focusing on your pets and what they need as this is my main summer job for now. I have house sat for clients and family/friends for years. I will be sure to do whatever it takes to fulfill your pet’s needs while you are away, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe.

About: Hi, I’m Avery and have been taking care of dogs my whole life! I’ve been in charge of training, walking, bathing, and caring for senior dogs. Not only have these been my dogs, but others that I have been a sitter for. I’m currently a student-athlete on the soccer team at University of Nebraska so the fall schedule while we are in season can get a little crazy. I currently have practices and classes during the week, but I frequently come home during the early afternoon and after dinner in between these events. I will always be home during the evening to take your pet on long walks or do whatever their favorite activity is! In my own home we never had a fence, so I am very comfortable with dogs both on and off the leash, whatever you prefer. I have also had dogs that are friendly with others and ones that are more aggressive, so I am used to handling both.

About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.

Kristin came by for an hour to meet us and the fur babies and learn our routines ahead of a 1-week vacation. It was going to be our first time away from our new pups and Kristin made us comfortable and it seemed like a good fit right away. Since then she's helped us numerous times and it's always been great. Thanks, Kristin!

Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.
